Welcome

Welcome to the Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences at the University of Windsor. Earth and environmental scientists study the composition and structure of Earth, the physical, chemical, and biological processes that shape our planet and environment, as well as the impact that humans have on the environment.

Our comprehensive undergraduate Environmental Science and Environmental Studies degree programs provides knowledge in both core and applied aspects of environmental science or studies with flexibility in upper years to enable students to prepare for a wide range of careers.

We also offer graduate M.Sc. and Ph.D. degree programs in Earth Science, which are supported by a wide variety of high-quality research facilities. Located at the heart of the Great Lakes region, Windsor is at the centre of one of the most environmentally important regions in North America, where teaching and research in water and air quality, ecosystem health, and resource management are making a difference.
